BATTLE DELAYED
PREPARATIONS BY FINNS & RUSSIANS TRANSPORT DIFFICULTIES ON BOTH SIDES. FABIAN TACTICS ANNOY | INVADERS. By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright. I (Received This Day, 12.10 p.m.) LONDON, December 5. _ All available information indicates that it is premature to expect anything in the nature of a major Russian-Finnish engagement, inasmuch as neither side has taken up positions from which they will eventually give battle. _ Both are experiencing difficulty in moving artillery. The Finns claim infliction of heavy casualties on the Russians in the Salmijarvi District yesterday, but do not give particulars as to the number oi killed or wounded. Dispatches from Soviet correspondents reflect Russian annoyance with the defenders’ Fabian tactics (avoiding decisive contests), which seem to have definitely delayed the advance m the invaders’ forces, despite the latter’s superiority in tanks and mechanised vehicles.
